Saint John Chrysostom, Bishop, Doctor
Wednesday of week 23 in Ordinary Time
First reading – Ephesians 4:1-7,11-13
“Bear with one another charitably, in complete selflessness, gentleness and patience. Do all you can to preserve the unity of the Spirit by the peace that binds you together”. In the words of St. Paul, we can read the fundamentals of human relationships. We must bear each other charitably with complete selflessness, gentleness, and patience. Why must we do that? This is to preserve the unity of the Spirit of Christ that binds us together. Only with complete selflessness, gentleness, and patience we can keep the bond of unity between us so that Christ is visible. This we must keep doing every day. With complete selflessness, gentleness, and patience, we can keep also the unity in our faith, and we walk towards full maturity with the fullness of Christ himself. We have different graces, and talents. But with complete selflessness, gentleness, and patience, we make the unity in Christ possible. Let’s reflect: Do I possess complete selflessness, gentleness, and patience to create the unity in our faith?
